It's fair to say Young's been dealing with a few personal issues.

Bruce is a sneaker-obsessed pop culture junkie from Queens. He is a proud alumnus of St. John’s University. Bruce hails from Complex as a social media guru. He is also a Drake and Dipset apologist. He divides his time between watching ‘The Office’ reruns and trying to become the next Hank Moody... or Don Draper. @brucegood_

L.A. Lakers fans are probably wondering why Young hasn’t played in the past 11 games. Well, head coach Byron Scott clarified that the small forward has indeed been benched.

“It has nothing to do with the chemistry. It has everything to do with just basketball. Right now, I know what he’s going through, and I know it’s hard on him. But he’s not here with us, mentally, and there’s no need for me to put him out there on the floor,” Scott told ESPN at practice Monday.

Scott decided it’s time for Metta World Peace to step up in his place for the remainder of the season.

“It was strictly a basketball decision. It’s all based on because I know how [Young]’s feeling right now. He’s not really here with us,” he added.
